Approved Defense Logistics Management Standards Change 1408 

Requisitions With Priority Designator 09-15 and Special 

Requirements Code 777

1. ORIGINATING SERVICE/AGENCY AND POC INFORMATION: 

a. Technical POC: Mr. Marc Davis, NAVSUP WSS T&D (N31), (757)492-5291, 646-

5291. 

b. Functional POC: Mr. Damian Alvarez, NAVSUP WSS T&D (N31), (757)492-5459, 

646-5459. 

2. REASON FOR CHANGE: 

a. Bottom Line Up-Front: Remove requirement to blank Special Requirements Code 

777 for requisitions submitted with Priority Designators (PD) 09-15. 

b. Background: The Navy requested this change after finding a discrepancy with the 

Special Requirement Code 777 between the Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR) and 

Defense Logistics Manual (DLM). The DLM’s requirement causes shipments to move by nonexpedited means due to its lower priority categorization. This change will allow for expedited 

shipment for CONUS-OCONUS shipments as permitted by the DTR. 

3. CHANGE IN DETAIL: 

a. Technical Details: DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, Appendix 7.14, Paragraph 

AP7.14.11.2, change PD 01-08 to 01-15. DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, Chapter 4, in Table C4.T4 

Priority Designator change to read “If Expedited Transportation Signal 777 is present and PD 01-

15 is present, process. If Expedited Transportation Signal 777 is present and PD 01-15 is blank, 

enter PD 08 and furnish BK supply status.” 

b. Revised Transaction Flow: There are no changes to the existing procedures or 

process flows as a result of this change. 

4. IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: Changes should be implemented 30 days after this ADC 

is published. 

5. TECHNICAL IMPACT: 

a. Additions or Changes to Data Elements: Special requirements code/required 

delivery date will remain 777. 

 

b. Automated Information Systems (AIS): This change affects primarily the DAAS 

transaction mapping for requisitions. At the time of this change, there are no known impacts to 

requisitioning systems. 
Attachment, ADC 1408
